Terry Brooks - Magic Kingdom for Sale - Sold!

Pros: Finally a fantasy novel I LOVE.
Cons: Say what?

Don’t you hate it when people bring you books, shove them in your face, and say, “Here, read this, you’ll like it.” More often than not I don’t hate it, but I seldom LIKE it. Once in a while, though, you’ll meet somebody who knows your tastes better ...

Pros: It's a great escape into a cool fantasy world with a new point of focus, and it's the beginning of a series so you don't need to go on a withdrawls if the end comes to soon!
Cons: For me, it dragged on a little bit-- but I'm weird so that could mean nothing to the rest of you.

Have you ever found yourself reading a book about another world and felt a compulsion to go there if you could? Maybe I’m weird, but I would just love to live in a world with fairies, dragons, trolls, and gnomes. Fantasy books are truly my escape from...

Pros: great series
Cons: none

I got these books at a garage sale. They looked fairly interesting and the price was right, so I figured I would take a chance. I fell in love with Terry Brooks' writing when I was halfway through this book.

His characters are amazingly...

Pros: new ideas, lots of magic, keeps suspense
Cons: None that I could find

This book was a great beginning for the series. Terry Brooks has always been a great writer. He continued his talent with this series. There have been many series about strange new worlds, but in my opinion this book took it's own style. If you enjoy...

Pros: Interesting character, slightly new spin on an oldish plot, some very nice imagery
Cons: Doesn't stand up to multiple re-reads if your taste in fantasy matures.

I first encountered Terry Brooks through the Landover novels, and while I enjoyed them enough, I didn't like his style enough to go read the infamous Shannara books. If you like Brooks' style, you'll probably like this book, but the plot isn't...

Pros: Different story, Good characters, Well-written
Cons: Moves a little slowly at the beginning

My husband and I enjoy listening to books on CD when we go on long trips. It really helps to pass the time. This is one that we stumbled upon in our local library. It's really a good book with a very different story than most fantasy books that I'm ...

Pros: Excellent story line. Great character development
Cons: books too far spaced apart

Terry Brooks is an outstanding author. I have read every book that he has ever written and refuse to wait for the paper back edition.

Magic Kingdom for Sale - Sold!, is the first in a series of books about a world apart from earth, where a...

Pros: Great plot movement and vivid description
Cons: How can I afford the rest of his books

I hadn't been reading Terry Brooks for long when I started this book. I had quickly read through another series of his and to be truthful, wanted to read more by him. I started this book hoping it would be as good as the others I had read and was not...

Pros: A great book that leads the way for Brooks next bestselling fantasy series.
Cons: None.

I've been a big fan of Terry Brooks for a while now, and have recently become drawn into his Landove ...

Pros: Hilarious Fantasy
Cons: What was the question again?

This book is the first in a series of Landover books. They are not serious like the Shanarra books, but are hilarious. Some minor plot details: A man named Ben Holiday hates his life. His wife is dead, he has few friends, and he is extremely depressed....

Pros: Easy to follow, excellent characterization
Cons: none

Magic Kingdom For Sale-Sold! Quickly found its way onto my "favorites" list. Mr. Brooks has once again created a world and cast of characters that one can both relate to and enjoy. This book, as well as the rest of the series, are a much...
